Apparently Adrian may have implied the ref vacuums roosters, though perhaps not in as subtle a manner.

I would imagine Coloumbe has been called worse by better players...

My thought is that he knew he made a call, and when Carbs threw his little fit in the penalty box it gave him a way to remove that reminder, and also, to not be chirped at the rest of the night by someone 4-5 inches taller and about 40lbs heavier... lol
